Windows 7: Making a windows disc complete with updates

Hi Rich. That is exactly what I thought would solve the problem. Sorry to keep bothering you guys, because you have been super great help, but to make a drive smaller, do I need to do this by software, or can I just do it through windows.

Also, when lets say, I put the image on a new laptop, and lets say the hard drive is 250gb, will that hard drive then become 80GB, or stay at 250gb, and if it does become 80GB, how do I find the rest of the memory.

Hey Guys, I just thought it would be nice to end this topic saying that I tested the image on a new system, and it worked fine, so I am realy happy.

The only weird thing that happend was, the new laptop had the wireless driver installed from the previous laptop, but still worked, even though the two laptops where completely different makes of machines, but I am going to guess that was a lucky coinsidence, as the driver worked and the laptop runs on wireless fine.
I will test on another computer later when I get time to see if it happens again

Anyway, thank you for the help, and hopefully other users can use this threat to solve problems too!

Hi again. So, I started up a computer, fully updated with Vista Premium. I did the Sysprep. It did whatever it had too, restarted etc. I had to make a new user account and all.

I logged onto the original account, and all the screen res etc was changed. I then made a image of the hard drive and transferred it over. The same happened again though. The original laptop had a wireless driver installed straight after the format anyway, I did not need to source one. So even with sysprep, the wireless driver was installed. I transferred the data over and again, this laptop had the wireless installed. Again, the laptop is a completely different make, but the wireless once more worked.

I think I did Sysprep correctly.

I am using SlimDrivers to update the rest of the drivers that are either missing or out of date. The laptop seems fine, so maybe, just maybe this again had the same wireless card inside.

I guess I will know more, when I do the same on a Win 7 image, and see what results happen
